It and the 2600 port of Double Dragon are considered technical miracles. The 2600 should not be able to handle games that complex, but they made it happen through the use of arcane magic.

The C64 conversion is pretty good although it doesn't have some of the cutscenes (adding them would have necessitated a multiload)

>Atari version isn't a block that sometimes has a line come out of it or a smiley face with a line coming out of it to show kicking and the enemies aren't blocks.
Pretty good.
